Republicans are overwhelmed with Biden’s ‘Help is Here’ pandemic relief tour
According to Thomas McGarrigle, Republican Party chairman in Pennsylvania’s Delaware Country is sure about the efficacy of the COVID-19 relief bill benefiting Americans.
“We will welcome the president because we respect the office,” McGarrigle said.
McGarrigle is in no mood criticizing the COVID relief bill when the Democratic president on Tuesday makes the county his first stop on a “Help is Here” tour to tout the economic stimulus plan, passed by Congress despite unified Republican opposition.
After all, McGarrigle said he is not certain many voters in this Philadelphia suburb share his negative view toward the new law, which the state’s Independent Fiscal Office has calculated will pump some $65 billion into Pennsylvania.
“Time will tell. It’s a massive bill and we will have to see how this plays out and whether it will be an issue in 2022,” McGarrigle said, referring to mid-term elections in which Republicans will seek to regain control of Congress.
